Dungeons Tower
A plugin for automatically generating mazes and tower-style dungeons in Minecraft by reading structural data from JSON files.
🏰 DungeonsTower [Early Access / Beta]
Welcome to the Early Access of DungeonsTower! This plugin allows server admins to effortlessly generate massive, multi-floor procedural mazes and tower-style dungeons using simple JSON layouts and WorldEdit/FAWE schematics.
Perfect for RPG, Survival, and Dungeon-based servers. Build massive structures asynchronously without lagging your server!
⚠️ Early Access Notice
This plugin is currently in Beta. It is fully functional and safe to use, but I am releasing it to gather feedback and test the core generation mechanics.
Why Early Access? As a solo hobbyist developer with busy personal milestones and a tight schedule ahead, I want to ensure the foundation is rock solid before expanding the system.
The Future is Free: This entire system—both the Minecraft plugin and the full visual web creator—will remain 100% FREE for everyone. There will be no paywalls, no premium locked versions, and no hidden fees. I believe in open access for the community. However, maintaining the code and hosting the web tool takes time and resources. If this project helps your server, a small coffee donation goes a long way in keeping me fueled and motivated!
⚡ Breakthrough Performance (New in 0.0.4-Beta!)
We've completely revolutionized the generation engine! By optimizing the biome mapping to match Minecraft's native 4x4x4 3D grid, the processing overhead has been slashed from over 90 million iterations down to just 1.3 million.
The Benchmark: Generating a colossal 765 x 765 x 155 block maze (over 90.7 million blocks & ~25,000 rooms) used to take up to 14 minutes. Now? It generates in an astonishing 10 seconds! (Tested on AMD Ryzen 5 7600). Zero lag, instant massive dungeons.
✨ Key Features
- Smart 3-Step Safe Generation:
- Solid Fill: Generates the base block structure asynchronously.
- Carve Air: Precisely hollows out pathways, multi-block rooms, and multi-floor stair connections.
- Paste Schematics: Automatically places predefined
.schemfiles into the carved spaces, ensuring clean, glitch-free dungeons that don't mess up your world.
- Auto-Rotation: Build just one schematic (e.g., North facing) and the plugin automatically rotates it for all directions.
- Multi-Floor & Multi-Tower: Handles complex vertical structures. Automatically splits dungeons into multiple adjacent towers if the world height limit is exceeded.
- Large Custom Rooms: Supports standard 1x1 paths and massive multi-block custom rooms (e.g.,
BOSS_3x3,MINI_BOSS_2x2). - Builder Tools: In-game commands to help map makers spawn building platforms and design rooms perfectly to scale.
- 🌟 Exclusive Web Generator (Beta): Skip the JSON coding! Use our intuitive visual web-based grid editor to design your maze and export it directly to the plugin. Click to Maze Generator
📦 Dependencies
To use DungeonsTower, your server must have the following plugins installed:
- FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) (Highly Recommended) or WorldEdit.
- Multiverse-Core (Required to automatically generate and manage the safe, isolated
world_dungeonvoid world).
🚀 Upcoming Roadmap (Planned Features)
- MythicMobs Integration: Seamless hook to spawn custom bosses and mobs directly inside specific dungeon rooms.
- Dynamic Block Replacement: Define placeholder blocks (like concrete) in your schematics and have them randomly replaced with different decorations or loot chests for infinite replayability.
- Advanced Web Tool: Click and customize individual rooms directly on the web canvas.
